Be a Webex master: Tips & Tricks
Check your voicemail
If you have voicemail associated with your line, your app will notify you
of new messages. When you have an unheard voice message waiting for you,
you’ll see a red badge counter in your Calls section. After you listen to
your messages (from the app or your desk phone), the badge counter disappears.
You can also call into your voicemail number to set up greetings, send voice
messages, and more.
Spaces Tips and Tricks
Add an external participant to a space
You are not limited to communicating with only your organization. Invite
external contacts like vendors or customers to collaborate with you in spaces
using their email. You can keep track of what spaces have external contacts by
the icon in the lower right corner
Add a space to your favorites list
You can be more engaged in some spaces than in others. To keep a closer eye
on those spaces that truly matter, you can add them to your favorites list by
clicking the star in front of the space name .
Add integrations to your space
You can see directly in the Webex space if someone added something new in
your CRM, or updated specific documents in Dropbox. To get all the information
you need in one place, explore the available integrations in the Apps section.
Can’t find what you need? Jump to developer.webex.com to build your own.
Forward messages
Sometimes you see a message in one space and want to share it with people
in another. You might be chatting directly with someone, but something comes
up in that conversation that you’d like to discuss with others.
Check people status
Knowing if people are available is important when you need to communicate
with them. With Webex, just use the Search field to find someone and hover
over their picture to get more information.

Bots
Webex makes it possible to bring content into Teams and Spaces from any
other application. Access business information and alerts from other systems.
Avoid switching in and out of different apps to get information. It’s also
possible to create bots to automate repetitive, high-volume business
processes, that no one enjoys doing. A bot is a simple way for users to use
natural language to request automated tasks to be completed on another
platform. In Webex, a bot is a member of a Space just like any other real
person. The possibilities of bots are end- less. They can be as simple as
getting weather updates where you live, or as complex as booking a meet- ing
room or a flight.
